Since the opening of the Winter Olympics, I believe that everyone has deeply understood the connotation of this word from the performance of the ski princess. Gu Ailing, the last jump, chose the difficult action that had never been tried before, won the gold medal, and the image of this all-round top girl who was as light as a swallow was imprinted in the hearts of many people from this moment on. However, there are also many people who feel wondering, it is said that this girl loves to eat braised meat and dumplings, and she is especially able to sleep, how can she still maintain a perfect body and fly on the ski slopes? Is this girl from another planet, or does she have a special gene hidden in her body? Let's declassify it for you from a scientific point of view now.
First of all, let's offer the first key secret, you can sleep to lose weight. Just a few days ago, a paper was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association's Journal of Internal Medicine, and scholars found through a random clinical study that maintaining adequate sleep can reduce weight. Moreover, previous studies have found that short sleep time is an important factor in obesity.
Over the course of the study, 80 overweight participants with a body mass index of between 25 and 29.9 were selected, and these adults slept less than 6.5 hours a day on average. After a 2-week sleep intervention, the participants slept for 1.2 hours per day, and the participants' daily caloric intake decreased by an average of 270 kcal, indicating that the participants developed a negative calorie balance. The average sleep time of the participants reached 8.5 hours per day, and the weight loss effect was still maintained. The results suggest that extending average sleep time from 6 to 8 hours a day could help reduce visceral fat by 25 percent. Guys, there is no extra fat in the stomach, in order to be as light as a swallow, jump when you want to jump, and fly when you say fly.
Let's analyze the relationship between sleep and metabolism. This point involves the regulation of body temperature. Our body temperature is divided into core temperature and body surface temperature, the core temperature is slightly higher during the day and slightly lower at night, while the body surface temperature is low during the day and high at night. Before falling asleep, the body surface temperature rises, and the heat dissipation through the body surface reduces the core temperature and narrows the gap between the core temperature and the body surface temperature. This thermoregulation process can maintain the stability of the body's internal environment. Because blood sugar and insulin levels are affected by the core temperature.
Specifically, if you consume more carbohydrates before going to bed, it will stimulate insulin secretion, resulting in an increase in core temperature, and at the same time, higher postprandial blood glucose levels will weaken the heat dissipation ability of the body surface. Therefore, if you eat before going to bed, especially if you eat foods that cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly, it will lead to a balance of body temperature regulation, which will affect sleep, especially shortening the time of deep sleep. Studies have found that people with metabolic disorders increase their body calories more after exercise and retain more calories. However, healthy people who exercise regularly have a stronger ability to dissipate heat and regulate their bodies, and ski princesses belong to this type.
Many friends do not understand, Gu Ailing, an all-round top girl, is here to compete, how can you say that you love to eat braised pork and dumplings? In fact, this is everyone's misunderstanding. The ski princess said she loved braised pork and dumplings, but didn't tell everyone how much she ate or when. Can you think that a person with a high degree of self-discipline like her will get up in the middle of the night and steal food? More critically, she did not reveal her all-day recipe, but please believe that paying attention to nutrition is an essential skill for professional athletes, with the service of top nutritionists, food matching and checks, will be carefully arranged. Moreover, people train every day, physical energy consumption is several times, or even dozens of times that of ordinary people, do not eat meat, legs are soft, how can they fly?
To reduce visceral fat, it is necessary to combine various factors such as exercise intensity, diet, sleep, psychological regulation, etc., to make comprehensive arrangements, and it is also important to grasp the details. For example, eating time is a key factor. Studies have shown that by advancing the dinner time, the interval between the first meal and the last meal of the day is extended from 11 hours to 14 hours, and the weight loss effect will be obtained. Because insulin sensitivity and the thermal effect of food will peak in the morning or noon, the eating time is synchronized with the circadian rhythm, which helps to improve metabolism and lose weight. The ski princess has fallen asleep, and you're still eating kebabs and beer at roadside stalls. You've been training on the slopes for 2 hours and you haven't gotten up yet. The top girls have won the gold medal, not only have you never skied snow, but you have been in a sedentary state for several months, all the same, and you want to learn to eat braised pork and dumplings every day? Think about it.
